A battle over gun laws is playing out this week in New Jersey. A total of 20 bills will be voted on this Thursday. The bills deal with everything from buying ammunition on-line to buying guns while you're on the federal terrorist watch list.

"Even in New Jersey alone, in 2011, there were 269 murders," said Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson-Coleman. "So that will suggest to you that people are getting guns who shouldn't get guns."

If put into law, many of these bills will change how and where people buy guns and ammunition in New Jersey.

"All of these bills are of the same nature," said Reverend Bob Moore of Cease Fire New Jersey. "They are sensible, gun violence prevention, common sense measures."

Some people in the gun rights community say New Jersey already has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. They also claim the new proposals are just an assault on the second amendment.

"The gun laws that we currently have, the criminals don't follow them as it is," said Rob Eichmann. "I don't think there is anything common sense wise when you go after the bill of rights."
